To qualify for ASCP’s histotechnician (HT) certification, candidates typically need at least an associate degree with coursework in biology and chemistry, along with clinical training or experience in histology.
The ASCP Board of Certification is the most recognized organization for certifying histotechnicians (HT) and histotechnologists (HTL) in the United States.
Histology certification exams, such as those offered by ASCP, primarily consist of multiple-choice questions assessing theoretical knowledge and practical skills.
Candidates pursuing histology certification through non-traditional pathways must typically complete a minimum of 1,000 hours of supervised clinical experience within a designated timeframe.
Candidates must provide proof of their educational background and clinical training to verify their eligibility before they can sit for the certification exam.
